New process technologies enable new breakthroughsJust like logic chips, to improve the performance, power, and area (PPA) of new DRAM device, memory makers need to utilize new process technologies. It's expected that some of these ultra-high-performance DDR5 modules will be CUDIMMs, equipped with a clock driver (CKD). This is expected to continue toward even 64 Gb DDR5 ICs.

As for 64 Gb DDR5 devices — the apex of DDR5 development — they will likely be reserved primarily for high-capacity data center-grade applications arriving from 2030 and onwards.
